24.01.2022 People who suffer from back pain are often told they shouldn’t lift and are strongly discouraged from pursuing activities such as the deadlift, squat or the Olympic lifts. Certainly, when you’re in the acute stage and still healing, a period of avoiding these activities may be necessary, however, lifting isn’t the issue, technique is. I don’t profess to be an expert on Olympic lifting, squatting, or deadlifting, however, I do know that if your technique is correct and you gr...adually increase the load, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t reap the rewards provided by these wonderful exercises. The footage of Tian Tao lifting 219kg is a beautiful example of technique. Pay particular attention to the position of his lumbar spine/low back and how he maintains a perfectly neutral spine.

13.01.2022 A BIG thanks to everyone who attended today’s seminar on low back pain and sciatica, it was wonderful to see so many of you there and asking fantastic questions! And also thank you AACMA for organising the event. I hope you all enjoyed the lecture and feel you got at least one thing you can start using with your patients, possibly even tomorrow! Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions regarding the material or the assessment and treatment of musculoskelet...al problems affecting the low back or neck. Thanks again, Brett :)

11.01.2022 Are you familiar with the imaging guidelines for low back pain? I found the following article a little surprising.

08.01.2022 This is well worth listening to if you’re considering surgery for pain, especially back pain. We should, however, be prepared to examine the evidence for all interventions, not only surgery. Thanks to Jason Ward from Mechanical Care Forum and Professor Ian Harris.
